Let Me In vs. Let The Right One in?

I'm honestly not sure why people avoid subtitles; I don't think it's laziness. Maybe poor vision? I myself almost prefer subtitles because my hearing isn't what it should be.

I'm sorry, who has trouble reading?:rolleyes:

I've seen the original Swedish version, and the subtitles do not get in the way of me enjoying the nuances of the actor's performances. If anything, it gives me insight into another world that a foreign language usually would keep me barred from.

American audiences don't like subtitles because half are dyslexic and the other half are special-ed.

How can anyone expect Americans to enjoy a foreign film when they can't read?

Would you like the dubbed version of our recent posts?

Or shall I just re-iterate the basic contents, namely that of me digressing into a short dialogue about subtitled films and then you accusing me of trying to repeatedly persuade you to watch Let Me In, the re-make with NO subtitles?

Gee whiz. That seems a tad extreme.:rolleyes:

You just got through saying I don't like subtitles when I clearly wrote that I almost prefer them. You are the one who is not listening.

I personally do not care who goes to see Let The Right One In or Let Me In or if people prefer the American to the Swedish version, but when I say I have no intention of watching the remake and you start making snide little remarks like " you're going to watch it at least twice anyway aren't you?" I do feel I'm being pushed and that puts my back up.

Dear oh dear, I did not say that I did not like subtitles.

" you're going to watch it at least twice anyway aren't you?"

You, as in the film watching public in general, are likely to watch a good subtitled film, or indeed ANY film two times if it is good enough.

If it has subtitles, and you choose to watch it a second time, then you can then turn the subtitles off , having already been acquainted with the plot, so that you can pay closer attention to al the visual nuances that you may have missed the first time while you were busy concentrating on the subtitles.

I now have a throbbing headache. I have had enough of this conversation. Thank heavens for the ignore function.

Please do, ignore me.

I don't really want to have to repeatedly explain my comments to you, only for you to repeatedly come back pretending not to understand them.

I am from Sweden and I read the book several years ago, which means that I am entitled to rack on anything Hollywood does. ^^

Seriously though, the fact that some people avoid certain movies because of them being subtitled is completely alien to me, since I was born and raised on subtitles. How else do you think I'm so knowledgable in so many languages? Broaden your horizon, pl0x0rz

Originals are better because there just classics, however i will agree that quite a few remade horror movies turned out great, ex. The Hills Have Eyes.
